Rationale
Postman is primarily an API development platform, which aligns with the concept's focus on connecting to various data sources and APIs. It offers extensive API and database integrations, allows for code customization through scripting and testing, and has introduced workflow automation features (Flows) and AI/LLM integrations (Postbot, AI Agent Builder). While it doesn't explicitly offer a drag-and-drop UI builder for general internal tools, its 'Flows' feature provides a visual canvas for workflow automation. Security and hosting options are also present. The core difference is that Postman is focused on API lifecycle management, not general internal tool building with a rich UI component library like Retool.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
Show HN: We built a better [Product]

After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
